Upcoming events
Dr J. Kasmire, of the UK Data Service, is running a course for the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) from 26 April to 24 May 2022.
This free workshop is an introduction to computational social science. It offers attendees a chance to understand and discuss what computational social science is, what it is good for, how to become a computational social scientist, and the basic steps to follow in an ideal computational social science research project.
This workshop is the first of two on ‘Introduction to Copyright’. The first session focuses on copyright considerations in the context of publishing while the second session focusses on copyright issues in secondary data use.
The aim of the statistical course, organized by COORDINATE project, is to familiarize participants with the basics of the open source programming language R and to teach data wrangling and data visualization using the R language and software packages from its ecosystem. The course is open to academic researchers from PhD students to full professors, as well as policy practitioners and other researchers or analysts working in EU Member States and Associated Countries.
Participants will learn about the key issues to consider when using secondary data analysis as a method. This introductory workshop will briefly cover the pros and cons of reusing data and the importance of learning about the origins of your data. Quantitative and qualitative secondary analysis will be discussed with examples and issues of context, sampling, plus ethics raised.
This second session on copyright focuses on copyright considerations in the context of secondary data use. The first session, “Introduction to copyright: Copyright and publishing” provides an overview on copyright considerations in both publishing and teaching.
IASSIST (The International Association for Social Science Information Service and Technology) 2022 - a Hybrid Conference, 7-10 June, Gothenburg & Online.
The conference theme, “Data by Design: Building a Sustainable Data Culture”, emphasizes two core values embedded in the culture of Gothenburg and Sweden: design and sustainability. See you in Gothenburg in 2022!
The first COORDINATE Summer school will be held on the Colchester Campus of the University of Essex from June 20-24, 2022, as part of the COORDINATE Project.
Every two years since 2012, ICRI has hosted about 500 delegates, who discuss topics concerning research infrastructures on the international level.
Past events
This free 90-minute online workshop will explain the difference between types of consent and how, as a researcher, you can consider data archiving, plus future reuse in the consent process, considering one-off and process consent.
This is a workshop designed to give participants a virtual tour of ReShare, where you will learn everything you need to know in order to archive data using our self-deposit repository.
Data management is essential to make sure that well-organised, well-documented, high quality and shareable research data can be produced from our research projects. In this free 90-minute online workshop, participants will learn about the relevant legislation, such as data protection legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Participants will also learn about strategies that enable them to share research data. This includes carrying out an assessment of disclosure risk, obtaining informed consent, anonymising data and regulating access to enable data to be shared.
Data management is essential to make sure that well-organised, well-documented, high quality and shareable research data can be produced from our research projects. In this free session we will discuss key essential processes: Writing a data management plan for research grants; documenting your data appropriately and effectively; formatting and organising your data; and storing your data, including data transfer, encryption, and file sharing.
In this interactive workshop, you will have an opportunity to develop an anonymisation plan, test your knowledge on legal and ethical obligations and discuss how to strike a balance between anonymisation (or pseudonymisation), access regulation, as well as consent.
Time series analysis and forecasting are among the most common quantitative techniques employed by businesses and researchers. Largely used in big data, these methods are used to identify trends, clean your data, and to predict the future. This workshop begins by exploring the underlying concepts and components of time series analysis, then moves on to a code demonstration that uses open-sourced police recorded crime statistics to visually explore these components. Participants are invited to work alongside the code demonstration to gain hands-on and practical skills.
This introductory workshop is intended for anyone who wants to hear about finding data from the UK Data Service and contains interactive elements throughout.
SSHOC partners and stakeholders are coming together on 6 and 7 April in Brussels and online for the SSHOC Final Conference titled “Advancing SSH Research with SSHOCingly good and sustainable Resources”.
The SSHOC final conference brings together Research infrastructures, Researchers, Research Libraries and Archives, EOSC key-players, industry and policymakers from the Social Sciences and Humanities and beyond.
The UK Data Service holds the UK’s largest collection of research data. This introductory workshop is for anyone with an interest in social research who wants to hear about the vast array of resources we offer.
